Thanks very much for writing. I'm trying.
There were some problems with audio links on this latest report when posted early this morning. But they have been repaired and all recordings are playing now.

Maureen, Is there a recording of Loffredo announcing Henderson as the choice?

Hi G!
I did record the motion and vote for Sue onto the board, but John Loffredo and the other council members weren't talking into their mics. So the record volume was way low. In the past I spent hours boosting the sound with Mp3Gain software, which if you're not careful eats the file. I did boost one file last night. But I'm trying to limit myself to about three or four hours production time, in addition to the hours spent at the meetings. I do run back and forth with the mic, especially during the public portions when the city manager or council may be answering the audience. Other than that if public officials want to be heard they'll have to move the mics up to their mouths.
Thanks for checking out the report. Did the sound files work ok for you?

Hello - does this thing work ?
As to the 'Eating Out' question :-)
Not as much as I'd like :-)
